Sorry Cormac I haven’t been on in a day or two. Yeah I would have my D switch if the right handed shot is going to the middle for a shot. The other D reads that and they switch to be on their off wings for one timers. That way they still have their sticks on the wall if a faceoff is lost.

Yeah… that’s about what I see from Caron. Nice piece for the 6-8 minutes a night on the 4th, with the ability to jump in on the kill. Not much from pick 22, though. Saying he’s better than Pouliot, ain’t no high praise though. He’s young, and I’ll willingly eat crow if he grows into something, but my gut tells me his perceived potential (1st round pick) will bring a piece back in trade more important to the Bs than his actual potential.

Make me wrong Jordy!

I like what I see from Corvo – I used to throw up in my mouth watching Kabby.

I haven’t been Corvo’s biggest fan, but he is an upgrade over Kaberle defensively. As well, his OFFENSE is an step up!

I think your a little unfair to Caron. He goes to the high traffic areas and checks more than Pouliot. I don’t know why but the Campell line (which he played on) didn’t get much ice time, after Thornton’s goal. During the second period, he was name was called some, and it was usually positive. I think the B’s management will give him every chance to be successful, since he is one of our draft picks and seems to have a good work ethic. I agree Kampfer wasn’t the only one responsible for the break down that led to one New Jersey goal, but his effort following was inexcusable.

PCL: I agree with respect to Corvo. This guy seems to know exactly what to do to get the team a chance to score a goal. Whether it be passing to the open man, or taking a shot on net to allow for a rebound. It seems he’s clutch. Maybe not an upgrade compared to Kaberle on the defensive end, but certainly is offensively.

Ok.. I gotta voice an opinion here. Very nice tip to Thorton by Caron.. and he’s pretty solid on the kill… but outside of that tip to Thorton for his score, Caron was invisible. His name wasn’t called once.

I may be alone on this, but I see that kid being flipped at the deadline to upgrade another spot on the roster. I just don’t think he’s got it.

B16 – I had to cover my eyes when they showed that replay of Kampfer getting toasted. That was really ugly. Kid’s gotta drive that wide. That was horrendous. Of course, he wasn’t the only culprit on that breakdown…

I agree, I was disappointed his line didn’t get out much in the third period. He and Caron made great plays to set up Thornton. As well, I thought Chara had maybe his best game of the season. Somebody has to enlighten Kampfer that if he gets beat or coughs up the puck, he shouldn’t quit on the play.

I agree Bo and Greg. Spooner, as Matt said was OHL player of the week and today was named CHL player of the week. Good work Ryan. Thank Dog that Benny’s shot had enough to get over the line. Talk about “hurry hard”.

Pretty entertaining game. Nice to Pouliot and Corvo for connecting on the GWG. Corvo just keeps looking better and better in the attacking end every game, IMO.

Glad that Marchand made up for his pointless roughing, but I was also happy to see The Claude sit him for a bit. I know that’s his game and all, but those penalties are infuriating sometimes.

That set face-off play, that they’ve scored with twice now, is brilliant in its simplicity. Think about it, even if teams start to key on it, it’ll open up a bank pass, outside rush for the wing on that side.
